AirAsia group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes is in the (fake) news again, and the 53-year-old millionaire was quick to call the false reports out.

Fernandes, who is tech savvy and frequently makes announcements via his Twitter account, shared a screenshot of what appeared to be a CNN headline announcing his resignation from the largest low-cost carrier.

“This is the best fake news,” Fernandes wrote of the hoax image.

“The reality is (long) way to go before I leave AirAsia and AirAsia is investing big in Fintech,” he added.
